You Know How Infertility Feels?

I know that everyones journey having children is different. My mother was as fertile as they could be, she popped out 8 kids and didn't have problems conceiving. 

I have a friend who can get pregnant but can't seem to keep pregnant. She does all she can but just can't stay pregnant. 

I have friends who are among the normal women out there who gets pregnant after a few months.

I love all of these women. I want to make that very clear.

When I hear people tell me, either because they aren't aware of my infertility struggles or they just don't understand, that they got pregnant the first month they tried and "It was so hard!" I struggle with all my might to not scream.  Or someone who cries to me that they understand how I feel because it took 3 months to get pregnant. 

I understand everyone has a different journey but I have to tell you, I hate hearing things like that. Have you had to give yourself shots, taken all kind of pill combinations, had IUI's, blood draws and more internal ultrasounds than is fair. I have had more people poking around between my legs than I can count on two hands. I have paid thousands of dollars to doctors just for the CHANCE to have children. 

Be aware and be sensitive to those around you. I am ok with people being fertile as long as they are grateful around me and complain to someone else. When the girl who tells me that one month was hard to try to get pregnant, I smile and say "Yeah, I know." and change the subject. 

I scream inside but I'm still nice and silently hate that is was so easy for her.
